The speed of sound in a certain metal is vm. One end of a long pipe of that metal of length Lis struck a hard blow. A listener at the other end hears two sounds, one from the wave that travels along the pipe鈥檚 metal wall and the other from the wave that travels through the air inside the pipe.

(a) Ifrole="math" localid="1661511418960" V is the speed of sound in air, what is the time interval螖迟 between the arrivals of the two sounds at the listener鈥檚 ear?

(b) If螖迟=1.00鈥塻and the metal is steel, what is the lengthL?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The time interval 螖迟 between the arrivals of the two sounds at the listener鈥檚 ear if vis the speed of sound in air is L(vmv)vmv.
  2. The length L, if 螖迟=1.00鈥塻and the metal is steel is 364鈥尘.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Speed of sound in metal isv .
  2. Speed of sound in metal isvm.
  3. Length of tube isL .
02

Understanding the concept of the velocity of sound wave

Using the formula of velocity, we can derive the equation for the time interval between the arrivals of the two sounds at the listener鈥檚 ear if v is the speed of sound in air. Using this derivation, we can find the length of the pipe.

Formula:

The velocity of the sound wave,

v=d/t 鈥(颈)

03

a) Calculation of the time interval between the arrivals of two sounds

Using equation (i), we can the time taken by the body to be:

t=Lv

d=L

Time t for sound to travel in the metal istm=L/vm

Time t for sound to travel in air ista=L/v

So, the time interval between these sounds can be given as:

螖迟=tatm螖迟=LvLvm

螖迟=L(vmv)vmv 鈥(补)

Therefore, the time interval between the arrivals of the two sounds at the listener鈥檚 ear if vis the speed of sound in air is L(vmv)vmv.

04

b) Calculation of length

We have the length of a material using equation (a) as:

L=螖迟1v1vm

For metal that is for steel pipe, vm=5941鈥尘/sand as v=343鈥尘/s,螖迟=1.00鈥塻.

Hence, the length value is given as:

L=1.00鈥塻1343鈥尘/s15941鈥尘/s=364鈥尘

Therefore, the length L, if 螖迟=1.00sand the metal is steel is364鈥尘 .
